RE #2: I think you're referring to moles, not voles. Moles are the ones that tunnel under your lawn and look blind (but they're not), voles look like cute, chubby brown mice with a hairy tail.

That show had a huge cast! I had completely forgotten that Denzel was on it.

I was indifferent to "When I'm 64" until I started singing it to my daughter as a bedtime song. It's a perfect song for that, and of course now it is a sentimental favorite. (The same for "Blackbird", though on a different album).

Did you catch the "Making of Sgt. Pepper's" documentary they aired a couple of weeks ago for the anniversary? It was fascinating. There were several stories and little details about the recording of the album I'd never heard before.

We had that album when my daughter was little; it was pretty good! He also had at least one children's book, which, if I remember right, was about a kid who couldn't decide which musical instrument to play. Also fun. There are so many kid's books by famous actors/musicians/etc. It's a great way to sneak your pop…

Did it get cancelled? I saw the first couple episodes and enjoyed them, but then I lost track of it.

I knew that, which is why those ratings made especially little sense. Your reply made me think about it a bit more and realize we were on my husband's profile, and those ratings pretty accurately reflect his horrible taste in movies!

"Netflix’s old star ratings (which are still in use for DVD power users)"
I wondered why I hadn't seen a change to the thumbs up I keep hearing about. I found the old system useless anyway; my husband recently watched The Commitments and I noticed it was rated only 2 stars (I mean, it's not the greatest movie in the…

That one made me say "Whoa" out loud. I laughed at the one with the twenty-something guy strangling another twenty-something guy in a suit. It looks like a promo for a college stage production.

The "Sleep Aid" form of diphenhydramine is blue, though.

Well, shoot. I hadn't heard that The Real O'Neals had been cancelled. I kind of liked that one.

So, what Americinn is already doing across the upper Midwest? If you're not familiar with this chain, they're found mainly in small cities, often in quite rural areas, and are usually the nicest motel in the area. I've stayed at many over the years, and recommend them. Just to be clear, despite the name, they don't…

I'm going to see them in a couple of weeks, after just seeing them in November. I'm no superfan, but I enjoyed the first concert so much, it had such a good vibe, that I decided to go to another one. That is no small thing as it means a full days drive to get there, but I have family to visit in the area, too.

Eh, looks like it would be a fun popcorn movie. Was that Jake Johnson at the end of the trailer? Is he attempting the Chris Pratt TV schlub to movie hero transition?

I will always have a soft spot for the original adaptation because my exposure to it was unique. I was newly married, recently moved into a rental house with the old-style satellite dish. I was randomly flipping through the dozens of odd, unknown channels (Australian rules football, telenovelas, etc.), when I came…

Ziggie Stardust has confused many a penis.

A New Hope (or as we called it, Star Wars) came out when I was 9, and I'm sad to say I have no memory of seeing it in the theater. I even asked my mom earlier today if we had gone to see it, but she can't remember either. We were a movie-going family, so I can't believe we would have missed it. I do remember standing…

Ditto. I'm almost caught up with You Must Remember This and Who Weekly (my guilty pleasure) and getting bored with The Magic Tavern, and need some new suggestions.

I follow his Facebook site, so have been seeing ads for this for months. I was somewhat skeptical, so am glad to see a good review!

My husband, who is the most kind-hearted, good natured Unitarian guy you'd ever meet, but is also extremely naive about the ways of the world, reads the Drudge Report. It drives me nuts. More than once I've had to politely explain to him why some story he read there is both wildly untrue and sexist/racist/antisemitic…
